I can imagine
what you might be thinking - a whole post of remixes?
Really? In just about every conversation that introduces the
topic of remixes I’ve walked away, because as every good
music listener knows, remixes are usually trash. Woah, hold
your horses though, and stop the presses in that mind of
yours! Remixes were trashy, but someone somewhere sometime
ago decided that they could be oh so much better. Introduce
RAC - a collective of young twenty-somethings that have put
helped put honor and respect into remixes. While it’s always
been easy to criticize a remix for encroaching on an
artist’s work - simply moving things about in an effort to
gain some credit as a DJ - RAC work from a level that
contributes alongside a piece to a point that have given
them large recognition around the wide expanse of the
blogosphere.
Standing for Remix Artist Collective, RAC have been adding
their perspective to songs since 2007 and have slowly been
picking up more and more momentum as their work comes to
light. While it’s true that remixes aren’t exactly hard to
come by, a good remix is. What’s even more rare is when each
piece of work following forthwith from the same collective
stands to be just as good if not better than the last. RAC
have yet to disappoint with each release whether they
completely shift a song’s musical landscape from the
downbeat to up, turn good into great or turn something that
was previously unbearable to something you can manage to put
on repeat. Few things would garner the idea of putting the
words “original” and “remix” into the same descriptive, but
these guys deserve it.
